I'm never buying jar food again!,

This kit has made making my own baby food so easy. The motor is plenty powerful for everything I've put in it. The "turbo" button made me laugh when I first saw it, but is very helpful on harder foods like asparagus. I love that the food that comes out of the ice cube tray is perfectly shaped to fit the feeding dish. It has been pretty easy to get everything out of the tray too. The servings are 2 oz sizes, unlike the other baby food trays that make 1 oz cubes. For me, this is really nice and I bought more of these trays and only use the competitor's trays for ice. The spoon clamps onto the feeding dish, so I am never without a utensil. The manual food mill rocks! I used it on an airplane while flying under high security conditions that wouldn't allow me to bring other food aboard. I was able to make my daughter a great meal from onboard food, serve it to her from the food mill (it acts as a bowl) and the cleaning is so easy, I did it in a coach class bathroom.

Not worth it!,

At first, I was delighted with this kit. But then reality set it.
1) The feeding dish warped in the dishwasher and no longer closes (it was on the top shelf of the dishwasher). It is now worthless. This did not happen to the freezer trays. DO NOT PUT THE FEEDING DISH IN THE DISHWASHER!
2) I frequently had problems opening the electronic mill after processing food (the lid would get jammed, and I would have to rely on my husband's strength to force open). Also, the second time I washed it in the dishwasher, I noticed a hairline crack in the plastic. It does not affect its performance, but I worry that it is going to completely break anyday.
3) The food mill is very difficult, if not impossible, to take apart to clean.
The electronic and manual food mill are both very effective, so no complaints on the performance front, but I wish I had invested in a regular food processor and plain ice cube trays instead of purchasing this kit.

Must have for moms,

I love the mill, it's easy to clean and small enough to carry with me on small trips -although my baby (7mo) doesn't yet like the consistency of the food, it's not very smooth, so I'm still using the food procesor a lot more - and it's also great, again, it's easy to clean and to use.
